WoD - Friday 13th (😳😬) January 2017

Some residue chalk from a cheeky bucket rub, or even a full blown blow out, kicking the bucket across the box accidentally or on purpose...is really not a drama. I don't really care. It's a unavoidable hazard aaaaaand makes you 25% stronger, do not argue with science! 

What is not cool though...is leaving your used chewing gum on the side. We work hard to make that gym feel like it's yours, please treat it as such! 

Be a DUDE...not a DICK! 

CrossFit Cardiff WoD

3 Rounds for time of:

Run 400m (together)

30 deadlifts (100/70kg)

60 Burpees.

So partners will run 400m together, return to the barbel and between them accumulate 30 and 60. Work can be split as they wish, but both athletes can work at the same time. Therefore the fastest way to get the work done, is to go mental on the burpees to try and get them finished at the same time as the deadlifts...ready for the run.

A rare Saturday workout posting for you guys. Usually reserved as a special surprise but tomorrow we have a special opportunity to help the wider CrossFit community.

Rachel Park unexpectedly passed away on the 27th of December leaving behind her husband and their 9 month old triplet daughters. They were recently in the news about being home in time for Christmas.
Bill Swampy Moore and CrossFit No Ego are running a fund raising WoD to raise money for their family at this terrible time. 
Please come to the gym and help out, anything that you can give would be very much appreciated. If you can't be there but would like to donate something, please click here
